Sold a gun and now it's listed for 200$ more.

I don't think you have to be cynical to avoid this. Just quit setting firearm prices based on sob stories. Buy the guy a burger and a cup of coffee and wish him luck on raising the needed funds to buy your gun. Better yet, direct him to one that will fill his needs at his price point.

Live and learn what? That the new owner was the new OWNER? What he did with the gun, after he legally bought it from you, is frankly none of your business.

Live and learn was about not buying anymore bull**** stories.

Guess it's true, nice guys finish last

Dont know why you would be mad. Its just good business. Buy something and sell it for more. Real simple. We live in a free country!

I don't think that's the issue but the fact the guy was a no integrity scammer, OP was just irritated about that aspect.

Still waiting for the link like everybody else….

Telling a lie to take advantage of someone's kindness is not capitalism, it is just a lie.

Scammers don't just hurt the person they are scamming, they hurt the next person that really does need a little help and won't get it because too many people have been scammed before.

Sure it happens sometimes and that is the price that kind people sometimes pay. The OP tried to help someone with a sob story by giving them a good deal and he got a little singed. That doesn't make him a sap or the scammer a good capitalist.

I'm curious if it was that XDm that I never heard back about.

Actually, that's exactly what it is. A person would be one poor student of capitalism if they took everything at face value. Liability ALWAYS falls on the buy.

Thank you drillsgt

68_F150 didn't care that he sold the gun to the guy for the agreed amount. He agreed to the amount and completed the deal in good faith. The whole reason for the post was the fact that he was lied to. The guy relisting the gun on armslist proves it. He wanted to share the experience with his INGO brothers and sisters to assist in the let it go and chalk it up to experience attitude.

I joined INGO to learn and make new friends with other people that share the same experiences as me. It never ceases to amaze me that the same people always chime in to the tear somebody down. It is sad to think that they are so miserable in their own lives that they want to make everyone around them just as miserable. Kind of like a garbage truck running around trying to dump garbage on whoever they can.

68_F150 it is unfortunate that you were lied to by someone for their own self gain but hold your head high and ignore the garbage trucks.

 

[Yup!]

The longer and more detailed the story, the more likely it's BS.

Is this logic kind of like multiple guess on a test? If you don't know whats going on you just guess an answer????

 

[Yup!]

All I'm saying is people feel the need to over justify their FALSE story by providing lots of details. So the longer and more detailed a story the more likely it's BS.

At least you live in a building, this cardboard box sucks!!

At least it has wi-fi...

So is it innocent until proven guilty or guilty until proven innocent??????

I'm not trying to be critical I'm just trying to understand why people on threads that have on average 40 pages throw out the I'm calling BS. Is it an attempt to flush out the poser? Is it an I'm taking a stand approach? Is it a race to the BS card? I'm seriously not trying to be a jerk but just trying to understand. As I said earlier I'm here to learn.

no, I was letting the OP know that the buyer was likely full of BS, and next time he can spot it if the buyer goes on and on about a sob story. The longer and more detailed, the more likely it's BS.

im not calling the OP BS, I'm helping him spot it in the future.
